lonely?

im sure im not the only one who pushes everyone away or does not allow anyone to get closer. but i got to change i dont have any friends left, no girlfriend no nothing and every attempt i make to be more open or "normal" just fails. i dont go nowhere except for work, crowds drive me crazy with anxiety and i end up just hating my self and my mind, IM SO tired and frustrated and sad im not even angry anymore i just dont got the energy. I simply cant get past a meaningless chit-chat with people. im stuck i have a crappy job that barely lets me afford rent and im going crazy i cant afford no treatment for my ocd and my dysfunctional life i dont even like waking up in the morning IM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS i just dont know what to do, my life is just slipping away in front of me
how the hell did it get like this??

I know how you feel, or at least a little bit. I always feel like I have no one around me and that I'm just going through life in a constant daze, like a zombie. I hate how OCD has changed me, I used to be very optimistic. Now I'm afraid to let anyone in, because I think that if I told someone about my OCD they wouldn't understand. It also sucks because I see everyone around me getting engaged, married, having kids, and what do I get? A mental disorder. It doesn't seem fair. I feel like I can't enjoy life to the fullest anymore, because it always feels like something is wrong. Sorry, I know I'm being a Debbie Downer, but I can sort of relate to your post. I feel so tired and annoyed with this, and the sad part is I haven't even been dealing with this for that long. And your last question is one I ask myself nearly every day: How the hell did I get like this?

I can relate to the loneliness, zombie feeling etc. I had to pull myself out of the gutter. What I did was stay at home with mom for a while and paid a low rent while I tried to fix myself. I also paid rent while staying in another place using a student loan.

I didn't know I had OCD then, so I was quietly suffering.. while I was building my own business, trying to study and working long hours.

If you're &quot;grown up&quot; it might seem like a let-down to move back with your parents, but you have an illness, and you need help and care. :)

Otherwise, maybe talking to the boss and explaining your situation will give you some days off or time to research what options are out there.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
